Speaking

I speak regularly around Australia and internationally about fundraising, social enterprise and the emerging purpose economy.

I believe purpose is a mega-trend of our age and reveal a roadmap for finding your purpose, telling your story and leveraging the power of social technologies. Or I tell stories about Burning Man, it depends on the audience.

I have spoken at SXSW Interactive, Social Capital Markets (SOCAP), The UN’s World Summit on the Information Society, The Asian Venture Philanthropy Summit, Nexus Summit Singapore, Global Crowdsourcing Week, Progress, Purpose, FWD, Connecting Up and hundreds of other events big and small.

You can download a free copy of the chapter I contributed to a forthcoming book, Future Leaders in Digital Technology, here. It covers the three key ways that social technologies are driving the rise of social businesses, and how you can ride this wave.
